Enough with the Cheese!
August 7th, 2008 @ 5:17 pm by Mrs. Cookie
With time starting to crunch, I have decided, no, am being forced into delegating wedding tasks. One such delegation was asking my MOH to find non-cheesy ceremony readings.
She is just beginning her Phd work in English this fall, so I thought who better to complete said task than her. But seriously, the non-cheese part of the ceremony reading quest was compulsory! Even though I heart Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130, “Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments…” it didn’t pass the cheese test!
Any Jane Austin fans? Remember when Willoughby reads Sonnet 130 to Marianne in “Sense and Sensibility?” Romantic, but totally cheesy!

Dear Readers

Weddingbee readers, you deserve something, too, but I’m afraid this one’s for those kind souls who’ve agreed to take center stage at our wedding ceremony and read something entirely sappy in front of everyone. (Mr. Petunia’s sister is one of them, and poor soul, she’s already terrified). Sadly, I’m a bit uncreative and too literal, so when the time came to choose gifts for the readers, only something reading related could come to mind.
The Key To Love
September 5th, 2007 @ 4:55 pm by Mrs. Violet
Mr. Violet and I had a small after party after the wedding. It turns out that there was a bit of guy/girl drama going on that day between different couples. I won’t get into the specifics but I was really surprised and a bit turned off to learn that it was happening on our big day. One of my GMs said that it just goes to show how hard relationships are. He considers us a role model couple because we made it work. It was really sweet when he said that to me because I never thought of us as a perfect couple of any sort. We fight and argue just like anyone else. In fact, there were points in our lives where we almost gave up. Of course, we didn’t because we both had enough faith in each other and truly loved one another. And here we are, united at last.
So, ladies and gents, for those of you that want to know the key to love, what is it? This is my answer; our reading at our ceremony, recited by our BM Sharrie.
Hello World

Hi everyone! I’m so, sooo happy to be the newest member of the Weddingbee team! I was first introduced to this site when my FSIL became a Weddingbee blogger last year. Yes, that’s right - Mrs. Poppy (she was married just two weeks ago and her wedding was beeewooootiful) is married to my fiance’s brother! Since then, I would read Weddingbee intermittently, and when I got engaged Weddingbee quickly became one of my favorite websites.
A little background on me and Mr. Peony: we attended the same university and the very first time we met was my freshman year (he was a senior) at a party. He hit on me, and I ran away. 
Of course, he claims that he doesn’t remember this at all, but I remember as clearly as it was yesterday. Fast forward a few years: we started hanging out together because our friends ran in similar circles. He soon became one of my best friends, and several months later, he made the first move. Three and a half years later, he asked for my hand in marriage.
